Only my second game of the season and a relatively short trip to Birkenhead on the supporters coach for Friday night's clash with Tranmere Rovers. The meeting at Prenton Park matches up two teams with identical playing records (both having won, drawn and lost twice in their opening six league fixtures) as well as being the division's two lowest scoring sides with ourselves having netted just four times with our hosts one less. Put that in direct contrast to last season when the two respective league meetings saw a whopping 13 goals shared with both sides winning on their opponents grounds. Salford won early season 4-3 on the Wirral while Tranmere gained ample revenge with a 5-1 reversal at Moor Lane on Boxing Day which precipitated Neil Wood's exit from the managerial chair. That win at our hosts ground ended a miserable league run against the Rovers which had seen us winless against them in seven previous meetings and scoring just twice.
On paper then at least it looks like being either a goalless or low scoring draw but given our consistent inconsistency it really could go either way. My only hope is that we don't display the sort of half arsed defending that I saw in the highlights of last weekends game against Walsall and that we're prepared to have a go on goal when the opportunity allows. See you there.
